As the only girl in a family of seven children, she often felt like she had “seven fathers,” because her six brothers, as well as her father, tried to control her. Feeling shy and unimportant, she retreated（躲避）into books. Despite her love of reading, she did not do well in elementary school because she was too shy to participate. In high school, with the encouragement of one particular teacher, Cisneros improved her grades and worked for the school literary magazine. Her father encouraged her to go to college because he thought it would be a good way for her to find a husband. Cisneros did attend college, but instead of searching for a husband, she found a teacher who helped her join the famous graduate writing program at the University of Iowa. At the universitys Writers Workshop, however, she felt lonelya Mexican American from a poor neighborhood among students from wealthy families. The feeling of being so different helped Cisneros find her “creative voice”. “It was not until this moment when I considered myself truly different that my writing acquired a voice. I knew I was a Mexican woman, but I didnt think it had anything to do with why I felt so much imbalance in my life, but it had everything to do with it! Thats when I decided I would write about something my classmates couldnt write about.” Cisneros published her first work, The House on Mango Street, when she was twenty-nine. The book talks about a young Mexican American girl growing up in a Spanish-speaking area in Chicago, much like the neighborhoods in which Cisneros lived as a child. The book won an award in 1985 and has been used in classes from high school to graduate school level. Since then, Cisneros has published several books of poetry, a childrens book, and a short-story collection.24. Which of the following is TRUE about Cisneros in her childhood?A.

According to Cisneros, what was the key factor in her success?A. Her feeling of being different.B. Her training in the Workshop.C. Her childhood experience.D. Her early years in college.27. What do we learn about The House on Mango Street?A. It is quite popular among students.B. It is a book of poetry written by Cisneros.C. It wasnt a success as it was written in Spanish.D. It won an award when Cisneros was twenty-nine.CPeople usually visit cafes to ease themselves of their tiredness and keep themselves from falling asleep, but Mr. Healing, a popular cafe chain in South Korea actually does the opposite. Customers can e in, order a drink, lie down in a fortable massage chair, and take a nap.Many Koreans suffer from a lack of sleep as a result of overworking, so any opportunity to relax and even take a nap is greatly appreciated. Mr. Healing is the perfect place to go when youre on a short work or school break and you need to catch up on sleep. The cafe offers massage periods in various modes, depending on how much time you have and how you choose to spend it.The 20-minute session is priced at $3.5, the 30-minute massage costs $7, and the 50-minute session is $9, all of which also include a drink. Once you make your choice, you are taken to the “healing center”. You are asked to take off your shoes as well as any jewelry that might damage the chairs, after which you can choose a massage mode, from “stretch” or “sleep”. You can start with stretch for a few minutes, and then switch to sleep if you want to take a short nap. After it es to an end, you are taken back to the cafe area to enjoy a coffee or one of the many other refreshing drinks on the menu.Mr. Healing cafes are so popular in Korea that customers are advised to make reservations in advance to be sure that a massage chair is available. “I have to sit on a chair and stare at a puter monitor all day due to my job, the healing room was truly effective to relieve tiredness and stress from weekdays,” said Park Hye-sun, a 24-year-old officer.Some have described Mr. Healing and other similar relaxation cafes in South Korea as simple fashions, but others see them as a sustainable business model, because they offer a service that Koreans really need.28.

These monkeys are not actually the first primates（灵长类）to be cloned. Another one named Tetra was produced in the late 1990s by embryo（胚胎）splitting, the division of an early-stage embryo into two or four separate cells to make clones. By contrast, they were each made by replacing an egg cell nucleus（原子核）with DNA from a differentiated body cell. This Dolly method, known as somatic cell nuclear transfer（SCNT）, can create more clones and allows researchers greater control over the edits they make to the DNA.Success came from adopting several new techniques. These included a new type of microscopy to better view the cells during handling or using several materials that encourage cell reprogramming, which hadnt been tried before on primates. Still, the research process proved difficult, and many attempts by the team failed. Just two healthy baby monkeys born from more than 60 tested mothers. This leads to many researchers pouring water on the idea that the teams results bring scientists closer to cloning humans. They thought this work is not a stepping stone to establishing methods for obtaining live born human clones. Instead, this clearly remains a very foolish thing to attempt, it would be far too inefficient, far too unsafe, and it is also pointless.But the scientists involved emphasize that this is not their goal. There is now no barrier for cloning primate species, thus cloning humans is closer to reality. However, their research purpose is entirely for producing non-human primate models for human diseases; they absolutely have no intention, and society will not permit this work to be extended to humans. Despite limitations, they treat this breakthrough a novel model system for scientists studying human biology and disease.32. What do we know about the technology called SCNT?A. It created the first two primates.B. It may contribute to editing the DNA.C. It can divide an early-stage embryo into several cells. D. It produced two cloned monkeys with different genes.33. What does the author mean by “pouring water on the idea” in paragraph 2?A. Keeping a hot topic of it. B. Attaching no importance to it.C. Having a low opinion of it. D. Adding supportive evidence to it.34. What is the scientists purpose to clone these monkeys?A. To prepare for their research on human cloning.B. To serve as a stepping stone to their reputation.C. To help with the study of human diseases.D. To raise money for holding an exhibition of novels.35. What can we infer from the passage?A. Cloning humans is already on its way.B. New techniques seem to be pointless.C. Society wont agree to clone another monkey.D. The success rate of cloning a monkey was not high.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面的文章，从文章后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。There is no best way to learn a language, because everyone learns slightly differently. 36. And placing a heavier weight on them in an educational program may help a student to succeed. Here are some popular ones that have proven to be beneficial.Many language teachers agree that Immersion（沉浸）is an excellent way to learn a language. 37. Students must use the language outside of class as well as in it and will learn more about the culture in which the language is spoken. Moreover, students benefit from taking brief intensive learning in their native country before traveling to an immersion program or language school in a foreign country.38. Books, tapes, and guidance materials are readily available. These materials can be limiting, however, because they lack a classroom environment, which offers practice and well-structured criticism to help students improve. However, a self-teaching program can prepare a student for a trip overseas by polishing his or her language skills needed.39. By being forced to use the language to municate needs, people can pick up the basics surprisingly quickly. If a student wants to use this technique to learn a language, he or she should plan on staying in the nation where the language is spoken for several months. 40. Students may want to think about seeking employment while they are learning to earn some fees.A. However, some methods appear to be more effective than others.B. This type of language learning can get expensive.C. Students can also learn a language through conventional classes.D. Some students are able to learn a language through self-teaching.E. The intensive learning establishes a foundation for the student to build upon as he or she learns.F. Immersion programs in the country where the language is spoken are especially valuable.G. It is also possible to acquire a new language by being exposed to an environment in which it is spoken.第三部分：语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。Jake was born healthy, but his parents noticed there was something wrong when he was 5.
